And before I started, I noticed that this had been made into a podcast. My bad how did i not know that?!

Anyway I loved this, it was so emotionally written, The descriptions in here are absolutely to die for (you know, despite the fact that a lot of them are about death). But Snape's pain is so palpable, so heart wrenching, it's as if you are in the room with him while she is dying.

You can see him there, you can see him holding her, and it's quite honestly awful to think about. Truly, Lily was the light in his life, the only thing that made him good. And even after death, she continued to do so. But this piece does an excellent job of capturing that moment when he realizes that she was his light, and that her loss of life was his fault.

One of the parts I really loved "She is ingrained into the grooves in his palms" is like saying she is a part of him, that a part of him is dying now, even though she was never truly his to begin with.

I seriously love this pairing so much. It is so filled with tragedy, and I don't care what those Lily/James shippers say (a.k.a. haters) the love Severus has for Lily is one of the most genuine things in the entire book series, and you have done an absolutely brilliant job depicting one short moment in such heart breaking detail.
